This seasons vintage weapons

the reason he has done it [im guessing] is if you look at his batteries they have corrallys on the top of them, which will not fit under the back tray thingy []

Actually nothing as complicated as that, it came like that

I suspect it's because the weight distribution is very far back and it would gain more steering. I've actually wanted a new bat holder but never seen one on UK ebay and could never justify buying from Tower which is the main place for spares these days.

If your serious about letting me have one James, it would be very much appreciated, cos the one in there has wood screws in the bottom (again came like that) and the ones on the top are stripped too.

Dan,

Well the one I bought cost me a fiver and is black (just the one item with the screws and plastic bar), and of course is brand new unpackaged. You have done a good job on that RC10, and I know it will go well. Anyway PM me if your still interested in it. I also have a brand new set of the metal poles for the front of the chassis packaged (black) and the front shock mount holder/brace (black) new and packed.

Just seen these James, after I replied to your PM.

Do you mean the Plastic bits that hold the tower up and bolt through the bottom of the chassis with the big screws? I defo want the battery holder and would happily take the lot for a tenner if you're agreeable?

Dan,

They are the front triangular items that have three screw holes for the big screws and yes you screw the front mount to it. I will PM you soon as someone has already asked about them.

Looks very much like a T2 battery holder, which was designed like that to fit either 6 or 7 cell packs in the truck. I don't know of any T2 battery mounts in white so I presume it has been cut down to match.

Pretty rare RC10 there, it's mainly a Worlds Car, with the wishbones, front shock mount, steering arms and battery strap being unique to that car. It should have a different milled chassis and rear shock mount to be complete but it is the ultimate RC10.

Terry,

Interesting you say that, didn't think all worlds cars had milled chassis, only later ones, am I wrong? I do have one bu it's very scratched, would need to rub it down and paint it, which I do want to do when it gets completely retired to the shelf.

Also, what's not right with the rear tower, I'll have to track one down.

The shell is wrong I believe, but it is nice

The body should be an RCPS Turbo Mirage which hasn't been around for years, the one fitted is an Associated Viper. The milled chassis is from the Worlds Car, the black chassis without the milling is from the Team Car.

Worlds rear shock mount looks like the one below. Picture is from the manual which you can download from Associated.
